About this property

Fishermen Friendly . . . On the Trail of Tears. . . 5 Miles to Dayton Boat Ramp!

Offered by RockyRidgeResorts.com is this quaint, remodeled, concrete block farmhouse, built in 1947 on Dayton Mountain in Tennessee. This property was in the same family for more than 100 years and is part of approximately 15 acres of forest and farmland. We have installed outdoor electrical outlets and lighting to work on your fishing rig. Plenty of parking room for truck, boat, and trailer! We like fishing tournament participants and have added features that you need.

Watch deer feed just 30 yards from your window, listen to birds sing, and see many woodland creatures frolic and play on the forest floor. Close to Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga, there are so many attractions that we can't possibly list them all. Hiking at Laurel Snow Wilderness Area is free, as well as Fall Creek Falls State Park. Day trips to Incline Railway, Dollywood, Gatlinburg, Rock City, Ruby Falls, and Blue Water Resort Fishing Tournaments, are just a few of the nearby attractions. NON-SMOKING PROPERTY. Cleaned and Sanitized for you.

We have made changes since Covid, to help keep everyone safe and healthy. We have taken measures to ensure that our property is as healthy as possible and, by the very nature of occupancy and check-in and check-out, you will not interact with any other guests. The reason is . . . . . At our Mountain Farmhouse property, we only have one set of guests at a time. no hallways or occupants in the room next door, you have the option of pure privacy. Our Farmhouse is thoroughly, professionally cleaned, disinfected, and laundered after every set of guests leave. We are pretty much isolated from everyone nearby, out in the woods, having no really close neighbors, and we have no knowledge of ANY type of virus or illness in our immediate area. We will continue to use good cleaning and sanitizing practices, and follow CDC guidelines, as we always do, because it just makes good sense to keep family healthy. Please relax and enjoy your stay.

Pretty property

The property was nice. The original listing said washer and dryer and that was not true. There was not a hot tub, the shower had mold in it, and you could either have a cold shower or a hot shower but once you turn the cold water on the shower became cold. One of the coffee cups had rotten milk in it. Other than that it was nice if you like sleeping on the floor because that’s how hard the beds are.

Convenient location to the Dayton boat ramp about 10 minutes away. It was perfect for a fishing buddy vacation. Air conditioning worked well, kitchen was well equipped, and the charcoal grill worked well too. We enjoyed our stay.

Tournament stay

We stayed at this property for a high school bass tournament. We had two truck and boat combos with us the parking was a little tight for two but doable. There was ample lighting and electrical hook ups to work on gear and charge the boat batteries. The owner was friendly and had lots of interesting stories. I would stay here again.

Nice little mountain cabin

Small house with a nice little cabin feel to it. Not too far from the main city, but not too close either. The scenery is nice as well being tucked into the mountains. A few of us hit our heads on the awning so if you're 6 foot or taller remember to duck! Overall a nice place to stay and great hosts who responded back to any questions in a timely manner.
